Alicia Keys started the evening’s festivities off by gracing onlookers with her rendition of The Star Spangled Banner.
Last week the singer stated, “I’m really excited about it, I can’t even lie…I have to rehearse it totally, as if it’s a brand-new song, because it is actually a brand new song in the style that I’ll deliver it. I’m actually rehearsing it like a maniac.”
All of that rehearsal surely paid off when the Grammy Award winning singer belted out her performance with great emotion.
